What is the best secondary school in Lagos State?

Nigeria has many great schools, and a lot of them can actually be found in Lagos State. We have previously reported on top 10 public schools in Lagos State, but this time we are going to focus only on the best of the best.Why, you might ask?

Well, it is because the top spot is occupied by a secondary school that is boys only, so we think that it just would not be fair to the girls.

King’s College, Lagos

It will probably come as a surprise to no one that the best state school in Lagos State is King’s College. For years, this establishment occupied the top positions on all sorts of lists and remained one of the best secondary schools in Nigeria. King’s College was established on 20th September 1909, as King’s School. Initially, it had only 10 students and it was located not far from Tafawa Balewa Square on Lagos Island. Today, its main campus can be found on 3 Catholic Mission St. on the same Lagos Island, while the annex campus is at Adeyemo Alakija St. on Victoria Island.

King’s College has some of the most dedicated and highly qualified teachers. The teacher-to-student ratio is the impressive 1 to 15. No wonder the students of King’s College always show impressive results on examinations, including WASSCE.

However, apart from providing top-notch education to its students, it also has a lot of other activities to offer. Its main focus is sports, so the students can enjoy playing cricket, football, squash, badminton, table tennis and basketball while at school.
